The two major intracellular catabolic pathways, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and macroautophagy (autophagy), have each been implicated as playing roles in neurodegenerative proteinopathies.(1-2) We have investigated the relationship between the UPS and autophagy using Drosophila models of neurodegenerative diseases. We identified histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) as a genetic modifier of polyglutamine-induced neurodegeneration and determined that its mechanism of action is autophagy-dependent.(3) The ability of HDAC6 to suppress degeneration has been extended to additional neurodegenerative disease models, including a fly model expressing pathological A beta fragments, presented here, but is not a universal modifier of degenerative phenotypes. Importantly, HDAC6 was also found to suppress degeneration associated with proteasome mutations in an autophagy-dependent manner, revealing a compensatory relationship between these two degradation pathways. Our findings indicate that HDAC6 facilitates degradation of potentially noxious protein substrates, contributing vitally to the neuroprotective role of autophagy.
